Concord Dec 6th 1858 Friend Ricketson, Thomas Cholmondeley, my English acquaintance, is here, on his way to the West Indies. He wants to see New Bedford, a whaling town. I told him that I would like to introduce him to you there, thinking more of his seeing you than New Bedford. So we propose to come your way tomorrow. Excuse this short notice; for the time is short. If, on any account, it is in- convenient to see us, you will treat us accordingly. Yrs truly Henry D. Thoreau [page break] [written on back of letter] Given to Helen Hopekirk Wilson By Anna Ricketson Boston Nov 17th 1885 [on envelope] Daniel Ricketson Esq New Bedford Mass Please forward _immediately_
